internet sharing problems - Linksys router

Hi there
I have been trying for 2 months to get a shared internet connection going,
using a Linksys cable DSL Router. I have a blueyonder broadband connection.
Trouble is when both pc's are hooked up to the router, neither will go
on-line. Both pc's recognise each other and recognise the router, but will
not connect to the internet.
Anyone have any ideas as to why?
I realise that this post is a bit technically vague, but I don't know a
great deal regarding computing and you intelligent folk out there seem to
know oodles.
Many thanks
In much anticipation
Debbie

Try a post in " blueyonder.self-help.networking" you will find people with
the same or similar
set up to yours

I am a bit worried about interacting with anything blueyonderish, as I have
been informed that if they know you are connection sharing they may try to
charge you extra for your connection. I have no idea if this is true, but
thought it sensible to avoid blueyonder if possible. If its not true then,
yeah, thanks a lot, I will give it a go.
|Many thanks Yddap.

Blueyonder do not mind you using a Router they just do not support the use
of it
that is why the NG I pointed you to was a " users self help " one

What IP(s) are the machines getting from the router? The machines can be
timing out and defaulting to an IP that will allow access on the LAN
between the machines, but since the machines didn't get an IP from the
router, they are not going to be able to access the Internet. So, what IP
(s) do the machines have when you go to the Command Prompt and enter
IPconfig /all?
